In the 2000s, a return to widescreen and a focus on the film format as a storage device



However, as a result, this consciousness similar to formalism brought about changes in Spielberg's works from the 00s onwards. One of these is a return to the wide screen, and the other is a commitment to the film format as a storage device. Both films are based on Philip K. Dick's near-future suspense film ` `Minority Report '' (2002), and the director himself has this to say about the former:


``Widescreen is the golden ratio that makes a movie a movie, and I wanted to recreate that.'' (*3)


In addition, Spielberg positioned ``Minority Report'' as a futuristic version of ` `The French Connection ,'' so the film has a ``70s movie'' style reminiscent of the detective action masterpiece ``The French Connection'' (1971). It is covered with an outer shell. "Bleach Bypass" processing, which bleaches approximately 38% of the film, makes the color footage unclear, repeating the political conspiracy genre of the 1970s, such as " The Condor " (1975) and " All the President's Men " (1976). He has succeeded in having the appearance.

And Spielberg's attempts like this are carried over in exactly the same way as ``Munich,'' which I mentioned at the beginning. In addition to the wide screen, the film uses camera work such as zoom, which Spielberg had rarely used in the past, and even blurs the colors through "silver retention" development, giving it a look similar to that of a 1970s movie. This makes access to the background of the 1970s even more convincing.
